Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is a method of resolving disputes or claims. Generally such matters fall into two categories. The first is based on a contract or agreement between two or more parties. The second is based on a civil wrong caused by one party to another, either deliberately or negligently. The range of disputes based on a contract can vary from a relatively minor case of a purchase of defective electrical goods to a multi-million pound claim arising as a result of a penalty clause of a building contract. Civil wrongs include personal injury and damage to property or reputation.

If you are involved in a dispute with another individual or a company we can advise you on your chances of success and the possible value of your claim. We can negotiate on your behalf and, if necessary, commence or defend proceedings which, according to the subject matter and the amount of the claim, will be dealt with in either the County Court or the High Court.
